My mrs showed that to me and said "I'm glad we don't live there you'd last 2 mins" and like you say who knows if instinct will kick in when some **** grabs you by the throat, how do you stay calm. Just take it. Honestly don't know in that situation but I know no ****s doing that to me in the UK without payback. **** makes me so angry tbh
They left because the Police Union they are all a part of made them leave otherwise they would stop representing them in future cases. The Police Union needs scrapping....it causes a lot of problems that make the cops look bad This according to some black official bloke connected to local govt...can’t recall name
One of the main things wrong with that type of policing is it actually prevents peaceful protest, through the adoption of fear. So less hard core, will stay at home, because they are fearful of the consequences of protesting. That then eventually only leaves you with the hard core protestors, who will be seen as 'trouble makers' through the lense of a camera, when the real truth is you can't have a peaceful protest without fear of being baton, so the only alternative is then to go head to head, which inevitably leads to rioting.
Here's an interesting read. I should hasten to add, I was sent this. I did not search for it. And I do not state that what this person has written is fact. (It's not from Twitter so can't be, obvs) I did though find some of the information interesting. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1268898468766134279.html
Yeah the guy has a twitter account... https://twitter.com/AmirPars_ Quite a lot of interesting content.
Agreed, good comments indeed, maybe I’m being paranoid but I feel a lot of this has been ramped up by the democrats using it as a tool.
Yeah, "the Democrats" knelt on that guy's neck until he died. Someone is definitely being used as a tool here.
We should have a dedicated politics thread for this stuff that people can just not look at if they don’t want to.
I feel like I'm part some mad ****ing game show at the moment. Just when you thought it was 'safe' to go back about your business, here come the protest marches across the country!
